Time signature edit
The third paragraph of the Composition section says the song is in common time, but the first paragraph also tells us there's a change in time signature. Surely somewhere it ought to be mentioned that the middle section (the part that sounds like merry-go-round music) is in 3/4. Pais (talk) 11:24, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
This song sampled the chorus of the original song. --George Ho (talk) 05:55, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- It sampled the chorus, not covered the whole song. No point in merging here since it is a distinctly different song, sharing the same name and same sample. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 06:12, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Dear Jessie (Rollergirl song) edit
Apparently the same song, Richhoncho (talk) 20:46, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
OpposeSupport. It seems the song is not the same as "Dear Jessie" by Madonna and just uplifts elements of the chorus. I have to hear it again. —IB [ Poke ] 05:32, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- I note that the songwriting credits are Madonna/Leonard, so any new elements are purely arrangement, that would not make it a new song... --Richhoncho (talk) 09:46, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
